The fire crackled and crickets chirped as Dream turned onto his side, unable to tear his eyes away. He looked so peaceful. He looked so, so perfect. The sound of George's soft breathing was music to Dream's ears. Dream could hardly breathe himself, as if the wind was knocked right out of him. He was blown away by the beauty, breathlessly lying in the grass, desperately head-over-heels.
Suddenly, George's head slowly shifted, his body stirring under Dream's gaze. Dream's heart beat rapidly, knowing that he should turn away. That he needed to. He is not mine to look at like that, he reminded himself. But he didn't look away. He couldn't.
George gently flickered open his eyes, blinking several times and looking around him before locking eyes with Dream. And time stopped all over again.

I originally published this fic on AO3 in April 2021. I don't know why I never published it here! However, I have been seeing a resurgence of DNF content out of the blue so I reread this, and it's actually pretty good I think! So put yourself back in 2021... Driver's License just went #1. Masks all around us, no slight mention of a vaccine. Online school, online everything. And watching Minecraft streamers on Twitch to pass the time. Enjoy!! :)))
